About us
Chu-Gooding is an acclaimed architecture and interiors firm with an emphasis on cultural, arts-related, educational, and institutional projects, recognized for designing distinctive homes and sophisticated spaces.
Part of a long lineage of craft, expertise, and experience, we have a deep understanding of the tactile, and we see interiors as a profound, provocative, and essential element of architectural design.
Since 1997, we have collaborated with cultural connoisseurs, design aesthetes, and enlightened institutions to produce environments that are at once compelling and intellectually intriguing, visceral and conceptual. Spaces that bring together refinement and play in an engaging, carefully executed way.
We approach our work with studied thoughtfulness, with an eye toward the poetry of architecture, and with the rigor and discipline required to consistently deliver high-quality architecture, interiors, and exhibitions.
